The Stand Stephen King's The Stand is a thrilling novel that portrays the forces of good against evil. In the year 1991, a plague strikes America, leaving only a few thousand people alive who are immune to the epidemic. Of the survivors, those who serve Good instinctively join in Boulder, Colorado, while those who worship the Dark Man are drawn to Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mostly, it shows how it is in man's nature to build society and to fight for his beliefs. I found this book to be extremely entertaining because it was well written and somewhat interesting, despite it's supernatural aspects. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys horror movies. Justin
